Red Robe - A Lunar Missionary posted to Sog City, travels north through husunchen lands to avoid the Kingdom of War to the south.

Triumph of the Will - a deeply ironic telling of the heroic struggle of Loskalm against War.

Good King Gundreken: Ian McKellan
Sir Meriatan: Kenneth Brannagh (Conspiracy) Sir Mallowmere (the misfit and real hero): Keither Sutherland

Ali Baba and the Forty Vadeli - a good Fonritan is forced into banditry by a wicked cousin and falls in with the bandits from hell.

Vadeli: various british actors hamming it wearing shoe-polish.

The False Emperor - TakenEgi is a powerful emperor that rules all under the moon. As the day of glory approaches, he is troubled by a deep sense of malaise and self-doubt that makes him wonder whether he is fit to rule as the Goddess's First Lover. Before he has a chance to understand it, the day of glory reveals itself as the dreaded Sheng Seleris. After many tragically futile battles, TakenEgi finally realizes that he must make his peace with the Mad Sultan, whom he drove insane to become the First Lover. After doing so, he is caught by Sheng Seleris and sent east to become a humble Gardener.

Emperor's Cousin: Guy Pearse (Memento).
